Enable Views contextual filter page <title> overriding in Drupal 8
1 min readJan 24, 2017
Views in Drupal doesn’t seem to support a contextual filter value overriding the <title> of a view being displayed as a page. The heading on the page changes, but the title in the <head> of the document isn’t altered.
Here’s one way how to have a custom module take the view title (with the contextual filter override correctly inserted) and apply it to the route (page) title:
(Note that that is a very targeted hook_views_post_render function in a specific custom module and so it bails out early if the ID and display don’t match what we’re looking for. In a more general module you’d want to remove the early return call and instead wrap lines 13–15 in another if statement)
